LONDON, Nov. ia rumor, which will do
light great many Americans II It turns out to
DO true. declares that Lord Wolverton has left
largo sum Of money to Mr. Gladstone. Lord
Wolvorton 10 wealthy peer. upon whose death
commented last week % heavy loss to the
Gladstone party. His wealth is estimated at
xs0O00o0. though It probably will be found
to amount to not much moro than half
that sum. He was President OF the
flrm OF Glynn. Mills, Currie d Co..
tho largest private banking house In
London. and his yearly income from
that source alone amounted to over 100000.
Ho left several country seats with 100000
a year to his widow. and after her his
most liberal bequest 10 believed to have been
made in favor OF Mr.. Gladstone. to whom he
owed the peerags inherited from his father.
Accounts differ as to the sum left to Mr.. Glad
stone It being variously estimated at from
than the lowest mentioned would be great help
to the Grand Old Man. whose income Is barely
sufficient for the position he has to maintain,
for Gladstone presents the rare and inspiring
spectacle Of man poor after o long life spent
in power. and In the possession Of secrets which.
by their effect upon the Bourses Of the world.
would have enabled him to enrich himself over
and over again.
The story of how Lord Wolverton became q
lord shows what q small thing in itself peer
ago really is and may produce Q beneficial
effect upon the minds Of Q certain very large
class Of Americans who on arriving here dis
play an awe for titles as humiliating to thor
more sensible countrymen as It is amusing to
Enalishmen. Just before the election OF 1870.
whom titles and other rewards for political
services were being doled out. Mr.. Gladstone
and Earl Granville were in Downing street
with xhe recently deceased Lord Wolverton,
then simple Mr.. Glynn. senior whip for the
Liberals. Earl Granville asked Mr.. Glynn to
step outside to allow him moments private
talk with Mr.. Gladstone. When he came back
he was asked whether he would like his father
to be made peer. which would Of course make
him peer in time. He said he wouldn't mind.
and was sure his father would like It. So the
thing was done, and the banking family be-
came noble family. Lord Wolvorton was one
Of the most generous finance contributors to
to the Liberal election fghts, and IL supposed
TO have left considerable sum to be devoted
TO political purposes. His place as chief finan-
sial supporter Of the party will probably be
taken by Lord Burton. another peer Of Mr..
Gladstone's creation.
An interesting feature In English politics Just
now IL the arduous attempt that is being made
by the Primrose League and by the forgiving
Tories to get Randolph Churchill back into the
fold. Churchill has found It does not pay to
form party all by himself, and 80 he has been
very mild and obedient to party orders. 1t
looks a. though his forgiveness and reward
were coming. Those who have been amused
by the political antics of the son-in-law OF Mr..
Jerome, commonly spoken Of by ignorant
folks here Is the son-in-law Of Jerome Park,
need not worry. As soon as Churchill gets
back into power he may be counted upon to
gyrste as violently as ever. and to make 1t as
uncomfortable a. possible for his colleagues.
